Study for “Sirens”
1949–1951

A sketch on paper featuring abstract, cubist-style figures with interlocking shapes and lines. The drawing is primarily in pencil with visible erasure marks and corrections, suggesting a work in progress. There are mathematical equations and numbers scribbled at the bottom of the page, possibly related to the composition's dimensions or layout. The paper appears slightly aged with creases and discoloration around the edges.
